    :D

    What a hassle to get 2 £25 cameras.
    Got to Ts for shutter up.
    Nothing out :(
    Scanned Ts own hoover - £27.50
    Asked a smarmy SA where are the cameras?
    He said none here :mad:
    Wandered about & got 50p Smarties & Minstrels & Munchies tubes.
    Dairy Milk box £2.75
    Maltesers crackers £1.50
    Finest Christmas Puddings are £2.50 & dated 2015 :T serve 8
    Then after nearly 2 hours of scanning nearly every electrical item in store I spotted him wheeling out a cage of cameras :eek:
    :mad::mad::mad:

    Morning all

    I slept solid for a long time, and through all the windy weather too. Feeling so much better for it too :D

    I'm not planning on going out today but I do have a lot of catching up to do housework wise so that's first on my list, then I have Homeland series 3 to start watching and somehow in between need to get a bit of online shopping in :p I've already got dispatch emails for the stuff I ordered off amazon last night :)


    I too have spent most of yesterday catching up on Homeland. I had not watched any of this series so caught up with it. dd and dog were out yesterday and oh only popped in for a while so lovely peaceful day. A few returns to Boots and Tesco today and pick up a Tesco fragrance order. Had so much rubbish to put out i used next door's bins as the house is empty. Weather quiet here.
    So pleased did really well with Xmas spends due to the Elite and have 3 freezers full to bursting so DD, OH, FIANCE and I wont have to spend much in January. Have decided I am going to get a savings jar so whenever anyone has any of my stash I am going to charge them ( what I paid for family and a bit more for others) so then I will have a fund for future glitches.
    Off to Kettering for Cambridge Diet training course in Jan so can then set up that business. Will pay off another chunk of mortgage in March so will be much better off then.
    A happy New Year to all the Elite.

    well you wouldnt believe the things that happen near where i live. people going up snowdon in shorts and vest in winter-time and having to call out the rescue services. lots die every year and others put a strain on the rescue people - putting thier lives in danger too - without too much aforethought. you cant be too careful at this time of the year and lets just hope they can save whoever may be in danger :)

    I know some people dont use the brains they are born with!
    Someone was walking there dog about 6 weeks ago and dropped dead :( but they didnt fall in the river

    Anon - before you buy any more 3v gift cards I don't think HMRC take them any more or lots of other placed that are classed as financial institutions. Check their website for current places that take them. Somone else might have more knowledge than me.

    Bother - thank you for letting me know. It seems I now have "a few" to spend online ... Tax payment plan foiled :o. If all else fails, it seems presents may all be coming from Amazon next year :(.

    It appears that everyone else knew this, hence there suddenly being stock after a long drought!
